Primes – The title of Prime is bestowed upon the civilian and spiritual leader of Cybertron. Among the known Primes are:

Sentinel Prime (voiced by Leonard Nimoy) is Optimus' mentor, a member of the Dynasty of Primes, the first leader of the Autobots and the captain of the Ark who transforms into a red and black Rosenbauer Pantherairport crash tenderfire truck. He is the leader of the Autobots before Optimus succeeds him, during the war for Cybertron. He makes a deal with Megatron to restore and rebuild Cybertron to bring the Pillars (including the Control Pillar) to Earth's moon and later to Chicago, in order to transport Cybertron to Earth's atmosphere. However, after Bumblebee and Ratchet destroy the Pillars and Megatron wounds Sentinel, he is killed by Optimus for his betrayal. His head makes a cameo appearance at the KSI building in Age of Extinction.

Optimus Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) is the second leader of the Autobots after Sentinel, the last Prime of Dynasty of Primes, one of the Guardian Knights, keeper of the Matrix of Leadership and the narrator of the series. He transforms into a 1997 red and blue Peterbilt 379 semi-trailer truck in the first three films, a rusty 1973 Marmon semi cab-over truck in the beginning of the fourth film, and later a blue and red Western Star 5700XE Custom Phantom semi-truck. In the first film, Optimus Prime arrives on Earth with Ratchet, Ironhide, and Jazz trying to find the AllSpark. At Mission City, he kills Bonecrusher and battles Megatron, but Sam pushes the AllSpark into Megatron's chest, killing him and destroying the cube. As a result, Bumblebee spoke for the first time and Cybertron can no longer be restored. Afterward, Optimus and the other Autobots form an alliance with the humans and work closely with NEST. In Revenge of the Fallen, Optimus is killed by Megatron after a battle with him, Starscream and Grindor. Near the end of the film, he is later revived by Sam with the Matrix of Leadership and is fused with Jetfire, making him more powerful. Optimus Prime then faces The Fallen and Megatron. After a vicious fight, Optimus severely wounds Megatron and kills the Fallen. In Dark of the Moon, Optimus revives Sentinel Prime using the Matrix of Leadership and revealed he was the leader of the Autobots before him. But, Sentinel later betrays the Autobots and joins the Decepticons to restore Cybertron with the Pillars. During the battle in Chicago, Optimus kills Sentinel Prime (avenging Ironhide's death) along with all Decepticons, including the Driller, Shockwave, and finally Megatron. Optimus has finally added a trailer similar to his Generation 1 counterpart,[1] and has been redesigned to look more heroic.[2] The trailer contains enhanced weapons, a shield and a flight gear. Optimus loses his right arm to Sentinel Prime at the film's climax. In Age of Extinction, he is being hunted by both the Transformer-hating Harold Attinger and a cybertronian bounty hunter, Lockdown, who is working for the Creators to bring him to Cybertron. Soon after his capture and in the battle of Hong Kong, Optimus tames the four Legendary warriors (the Dinobots) and rides Grimlock to fight Galvatron (Megatron reincarnated) and his new army of man-made Transformers. After defeating Galvatron's army, he successfully kills Lockdown and Harold Attinger (avenging the deaths of Ratchet, Leadfoot, Sideswipe, Dino, Roadbuster and Lucas). He then sets the Dinobots free and ask his fellow Autobots to protect Cade and his family before taking the Seed into space and going after the Creators. In The Last Knight, when frozen and floating past Jupiter, he arrives at Cybertron, a dead planet where he finds Quintessa, who gives him a red marking and wants to destroy Earth, which she reveals is an ancient enemy planet called "Unicron". She tells Prime that he must retrieve the staff to rebuild the planet, and brainwashes him to do her bidding. Prime's eyes turn purple, his paint scheme turns to black, and he becomes Nemesis Prime. Later, just as he is about to kill Bumblebee, Bee speaks for the first time in 10 years. The sound of his friend's long lost voice causes Prime to return to normal, shown by his eyes turning blue again and his red marking disappeared. He rides with Dragonstorm into battle. After brutally slaughtering Quintessa and saving both worlds, Optimus and all Transformers finally leave Earth to return to Cybertron as it remains in orbit over Earth. Prime reappears in Bumblebee, in which he is designed more like his G1 self. In the film, he leads the Autobots against the Decepticons trying to take over Cybertron, but is forced to retreat when Decepticon reinforcements led by Soundwave and Shockwave attack them. Realizing that Cybertron has fallen, he orders all Autobots to get to their escape pods. However, he has Bumblebee given the task to protect Earth and set up a base for them before being attacked by Ravage and other Decepticons. In the end of the film, he praises Bumblebee for keeping Earth safe.

Bumblebee (voiced by Dylan O'Brien in Bumblebee, Mark Ryan in the 2007 film and the Revenge of the Fallen video game, Erik Aadahl in The Last Knight) is an Autobot scout, later Optimus' second-in-command after Ratchet's death in the fourth film, Hot Rod's brother-in-arms and Sam's former guardian in the first three films. He also uses radio soundbites after losing his voice on Cybertron, when his throat begins healing after Ratchet fires a regenerative laser. Bumblebee transformed into a 1977 Chevrolet Camaro, and upgrades into the 2006 model. Later at the end, his voice has spoken again. For Revenge of the Fallen, despite being repaired at the end of the 2007 film, Bumblebee's voice still uses radio soundbites to communicate. Sam tells Mikaela that Bumblebee's "playing it up". He also transforms into a newly 2009 Chevrolet Camaro. For Dark of the Moon, his vehicle mode became Chevrolet Camaro 2011, and featured a new body kit and paint job. For Age of Extinction, Bumblebee is now a modified vintage 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS, and later on a 2014 Chevrolet Camaro concept. He appears after Optimus calls all the Autobots and has a rivalry with Drift (because Drift believes Bumblebee is too childish). He later aids Hound in a battle and rides Strafe. In The Last Knight, Bumblebee gets his voice back and fixed, but is accidentally given a female voice. However, near the end, his real voice spokes again to Optimus, turning him back to normal and snapping him out of Quintessa's brainwashing. Flashbacks reveal that he and Hot Rod were the first Autobots to arrive on Earth and fought alongside the Allied forces to fight the Nazi Party during World War II, and transformed to a Mercedes-Benz 770 (This backstory was later retconed in the prequel movie, where it reestablished that Bumblebee first arrives on Earth in 1987). He also knows Edmund from when they first met before he met Sam and has the ability to reassemble himself after being blown to pieces. In Bumblebee, he is redesigned to look like his G1 counterpart and will transform into a Volkswagen Beetle. In the film, he lands on Earth after Cybertron falls to the Decepticons. After his synthetic voice communicator is ripped out and destroyed by Blitzwing, Starscream's slave, he manages to escape and befriends Charlie Watson, an 18-year-old girl in Brighton Falls, California. He comes into conflict with Decepticons Shatter and Dropkick, who are looking for him in regards to Optimus Prime's location. After being captured by Sector 7, led by Jack Burns, Shatter and Dropkick interrogate him and plan to bring a Decepticon army to Earth, intent on destroying it. Bumblebee manages to kill Shatter and Dropkick and he and Charlie part ways so he can be with the other Autobots.[3]

He leads the Autobots in the Desert Battle and helps Sam get to the pillars where Optimus lies. He is heavily damaged and forced to drop his heavy cannons during an air strike. He is given a new set of weapons in Dark of the Moon, by Que, and helps Sideswipe to take down The Decepticon Dreads, as they chase Sentinel to NEST. But Sentinel Prime betrays the Autobots, shooting the helpless Ironhide twice in the back with his Cosmic Rust Cannon, then once more in the chest, with the old Autobot warrior crumbling into dust. He was later avenged by Optimus when he kills Sentinel. Ironhide also appeared in a photo in Age of Extinction and The Last Knight.

In Revenge of the Fallen, Megatron returns.[13] Despite Michael Bay's initial claims of him not returning after he was killed and thrown into the Laurentian Abyss in the first film,[14] Megatron is resurrected by the Constructicons with a shard of the AllSpark. Upon being revived, Megatron gains a new alternative mode as a Cybertronian flying tank. He kills Optimus Prime and later pursues Sam Witwicky for vengeance and to obtain the AllSpark knowledge the human possess within his mind. In Egypt, Megatron fights a resurrected and revived Optimus, but is overpowered and badly damaged, losing the right side of his face and his right arm in the process. Megatron then watches as the Fallen is destroyed. Afterward, Megatron retreats with Starscream, swearing revenge. In Dark of the Moon, despite his right arm and his half face repaired at the end of last film, Megatron changes his vehicle mode to an armored rusty Mack Titan 10-wheeler fuel tank truck equipped with heavy weaponry and goes into hiding in Tanzania. After Optimus Prime destroyed half of his face in Revenge of the Fallen, Megatron sometimes hides it by using a cowl.[15] Instead of using a Fusion Cannon integrated into his arm, he wields a hand-held fusion shotgun similar to a Lupara. It is revealed that Megatron made a secret deal with former Autobot leader Sentinel Prime, to invade Earth with an army using Space Bridge pillars and use humanity to rebuild their damaged planet together. However, Megatron is betrayed by Sentinel and has command of the Decepticons taken from him. During the battle in Chicago, Sam's girlfriend Carly goads him back into action; Megatron ambushes and cripples Sentinel. When Cybertron's trip through the Space Bridge fails, Megatron attempts to make a false truce with Optimus, but the latter sees through the ruse and attacks his eternal foe, tearing off Megatron's head with a battle axe. In Age of Extinction, Megatron's head is seen in at KSI, where a captive Brains discovers that Megatron's mind is still alive and in a deep stasis. Megatron silently manipulates Joshua Joyce and his creation of the artificial Transformers as part of his conscious gets placed into Galvatron.

He is further revealed to have his signature forearm-mounted fusion cannon which can also act as a flamethrower and a knightly sword like Optimus, further emphasizing the enmity between the two. His vehicle mode for the film has been revealed to be a Cybertronian jet, similar to G1 Cyclonus' jet mode.[16] In the film upon somehow being rebuilt, he searches for the talisman to find Quintessa's staff.

James Savoy (portrayed by Titus Welliver) is the field leader of the CIA division Cemetery Wind and the right-hand man of Harold Attinger. He lost his sister in the battle of Chicago, which might be one of the reasons why he supported the idea of exterminating the transformers species and not care which side they're on. He later got killed by Cade Yeager who knocked him off a building during their fight.[75][78][79]

Transformers Reaction Force (TRF) is a new military organization that seeks to eradicate destroy of all Transformers, both Autobots and Decepticons, hiding on Earth. TRF was is created from the remnants of CIA unit, Cemetery Wind as well as from the remnants of military unit, NEST, they also are willing to kill any allies and sympathizers among humans that the Cybertronians might have. They are led by Santos, a former Delta Force Operator. However, events cause TRF to create an alliance to the Autobots and Cade Yeager to save the Earth from Quintessa. At the end of the movie, the former TRF members watched as the Autobots headed to Cybertron to rebuild it and TRF was presumably dissolved.

Santos (portrayed by Santiago Cabrera) is the leader of the TRF (Transformers Reaction Force) and a former Delta Force Operator who was born in São Paulo, Brazil and grew up in Phoenix, Arizona. Ruthless and not caring about both sides due to the destruction they caused in the Battle of Chicago, he seeks to destroy all remaining Cybertronians left on Earth as he believes them to be a threat. He also doesn't trust Lennox, but the Autobots are being protected by Cade at the junkyard. However, at the climax, he redeems himself and aids the Autobots to retrieve the Staff from destroying Earth and Cybertron from the Decepticons.

The Seven Primes (three of them are voiced by Michael York, Kevin Michael Richardson, and Robin Atkin Downes) are the first Cybertronians who came into distant galaxies looking for planets where they could build Sun Harvesters. It was during the Dynasty's rule that Sun Harvesters were not to be used in solar systems containing life. In 17,000 B.C.E., one of them defied his brothers' rule about destroying planets with life by powering up the Sun Harvester, an act that ignited a war and earned him the name The Fallen. To stop the Sun's destruction the remaining six stole and hid the Matrix of Leadership, sacrificing themselves to make a tomb of their own bodies, sealing the Matrix away. When Sam dies, he has a vision of the Dynasty and they tell him he has earned his destiny. The Dynasty then resurrects Sam, who uses the Matrix of Leadership to bring Optimus back to life and kills the Fallen. Their bodies resemble their brother the Fallen.

The Creators are a mysterious extraterrestrial race who are the creators of all Cybertronians, based on the Quintessons from the Generation 1 lore. In the beginning of Age of Extinction, 65 million B.C.E., they invade the organic planets, including Earth, using the Seeds, cyberforming the planet, and ending the age of the Dinosaurs and causing the KT extinction event. Later, they harvest and use the resultant metal and the AllSpark to build the Cybertronians—Autobots and Decepticons. Million of years later, they send their bounty hunter Lockdown to Earth—to bring Optimus Prime alive, wanting their "chessboard cleaned" and wanting him to rebuild Cybertron, and kill the remaining Autobots and Decepticons. They appear to be hostile and consider the intermingling of species to upset the cosmic balance. At the end after Lockdown was killed, Optimus flies into space from Earth that he is coming for them with the Seed. They don't appear in body, but a pink, organic-looking hand is briefly seen inside of one of their ships.

Lockdown (voiced by Mark Ryan in the film,[4]Gregg Berger in Rise of the Dark Spark) is a ruthless, cold hearted and barbaric Cybertronian bounty hunter who transforms into a grey 2013 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Coupe and speaks with a Cockney accent.[7] His robot mode slightly resembles Optimus Primal's appearance in Beast Machines,[6] but also features a scar on his left face and he is capable of turning his helmet into a gun, and uses his hook (from the Revenge of the Fallen deluxe version), a sword and a booster shot. In the film, Lockdown is working for Quintessa to bring Optimus Prime to rebuild Cybertron. He made a deal with Attinger (though he does have a slur towards humans, much like Attinger does to transformers, yet neither seem to hate each other specifically) to kill the remaining Autobots including Ratchet, Leadfoot, (possibly Sideswipe and Mirage) and Deceptions on Earth while offering the Seed in exchange for aid in hunting Optimus. At some point in the past, Lockdown also captures the Legendary "Dinobot" Knights and took over the Knight Ship, but they are later freed by Optimus in order to destroy Galvatron's army. Later in a duel at Hong Kong, Lockdown is finally killed by Optimus Prime, who vertically bisects him, avenging the deaths of Ratchet, Leadfoot, and Lucas. Afterward, his body was destroyed by his own grenade, when Optimus destroys the rest of the KSI Drones.

The Shadow Raiders are a group of techno-organic humanoids of Lockdown. They use the Drone balls to roll and see anything aboard the ship, appeared to have red or green lights on their faces and reuse the Decepticon weapons. Several of them are killed by Cade, Shane, and Crosshairs, while the surviving ones remained inside Lockdown's ship, as the two Drone balls are also killed by Cade on the Knight ship. They also used the Cybertronian starfighters, which first appeared in Dark of the Moon for Decepticons to first use in the battle of Chicago. It is revealed in The Last Knight that they were defeated by Daytrader, taking the Knight Ship for the Autobots.

The Steeljaws are the techno-organic wolf-like creatures and the minions of Lockdown. They are colored black and blue in the toyline. During the Autobots' aid in the Knight Ship while hanging on the cables, they are killed by Cade Yeager and Bumblebee.
